Kimbo Slice went from street fighting to MMA , massively hyped , his 1st fight (not at UFC level) they brought in a karate guy who had a moderate MMA record . Think the fight lasted 9 seconds (Kimbo lost)

As said Frank Warren was his nephew i think, said Lenny 'had about 12 proper fights,lost half of them' .

Mclean couldn't have boxed otherwise he would have got in the ring and made himself some money. Collins was a top professional boxer. McLean wouldn't have laid a glove on him in the ring. Collins would have boxed his head off.

However, in a bar brawl, in a confined space with no room, Mclean would have been a cert

McLean couldn't get a pro boxing licence because of his background.

He was an unlicensed boxer and was beaten but claims to have never lost a bare knuckle fight "on the cobbles" which were presumably "anything goes" contests.

I'm not so sure Glimma, Queensbury rules, Collins fitness and stamina would see him home. Remember he was a bit of a warrior himself. He broke Eubank in those epic encounters and Eubank was no pushover in his pomp.
To say the very least.

Theres no great precedence for people fightiing another person who is miles bigger except within the heavyweight division.  Haye v valuev a case in point, loved that fight but having just seen mclean, think he was a lot quicker than valuev who lost.

Slippy was very shrewd.
